Avoid stat boosts (maybe the life and mana ones if you're extremely deficient in one (i.e. Golems & mana)).
Uncontrollable power doubles damage you give and take, confuses you for a few turns, is amazing.
Natural Leader gives you Cheer which gives your pets Speed and Hero, it's amazing.

In general yeah, move feats are worth more because they give you stuff you can't get any other way.
Luck is never worth it, you need massive amounts to see differences and that's what Lucky Day's are for.
Tax probably isn't worth it, it's inconsequential for the most part and can be reduced by kitty banking your money before tax day. Quartermaster might be interesting, though I've never tried it.

Other nice move feats are Drain Blood, mainly because it GIVES you stamina with use so you can use more special moves, and it can be used on allies for this reason and they won't get mad at you (if they really like you).
Touch of Sleep might be good for pickpocketing.
Exorcist prevents random events from cursing your shit but from what I've heard it might not be worth it.

Where the fuck are the PosChengband tilesets? I'm searching all over Google and nothing is coming up. When I try to enable tiles it gives me the "You may not do that right now" and tells me it can't execute the files because they don't even exist in the first place. I'm just sick of staring at numbers and letters.

HELP
>>
>>140659131
No dude.
You don't use the poschengband tileset.
Okay? You just don't.
There's a reason the maintainer removed them from the latest version.
They literally don't work. Haven't for ages, there are tons of monsters without a tile, and the ones that have tiles- you don't want to see them.
PCB tiles are worse than ToME4 tiles, and I don't say that type of thing lightly.

Anyone know how to fix this? ive looked on google and forums but havent found anything yet.

I've reached a perfect way to handle the challenge. Basically grab 0 AC in the mines, then dive down. Eventually I'll find an elf and grab his pall and shield for -3 AC, which is good enough to handle the guards. Then I have to kill my quest nemesis with -3 AC, but apparently it doesn't resist sleep so a wand should dispatch her while I bash ber with my huge balls. The last step after that is to grab a ring of slow digestion, because the guard trick bleeds nutrition without it, so I have to go to sokoban and hope for the best. Once I get the guards rolling I can get to level 30 with potions of gain level and put all the loot inside my blessed bag of holding I got in the mines.
I found out a way to enforce spell-less too! I just sit on an antimagic trap until I have 0 mana. I only memorize the first spellbook I find so I can confuse myself to fooproof armor anyway.

There's a reason they removed TSO from the backgrounds. You get piety by killing demons and undead, which are mostly present in the endgame. The only good thing about tissot is the +hit aura at the very start.

Incursion is an unfinished demo that was gonna be the greatest roguelike of all time, with an overworld, random dungeon generation and an economy system. Kind of like ultima ratio regum meets ADOM.
The dev wasn't autisic enough to toady it up and the game never really caught the attention DF got, so what we have is an unfinished 10-level demo of what was gonna be a way bigger game.
It's not a bad game and it's really fun on its own, but it's not necessarily what you'd call a project you would want to pursue.
Best case scenario (getting rid of all the bugs, importing the code base to github, etc etc) the game would be a bugless demo.

A really damn good one but still. A 10 level demo. And let me tell you they don't have the manpower to actually fix one fourth of the bugs of the game. If you start the game in nightmare mode and go down to level 7 or something, you'll take five minutes to take five steps for the sheer amount of spellcasters casting spells out of your LOS. Then the game will crash.
Incursion is a good game to play and win st least once to get a feel of the bigger picture. A "what if".
Also to eat all the tomes.

More like paid NEETS. Incursion can only be built on Windows and inside of Microshit's Visual Studio, and only money would make me want to touch that.

Plus, the system is super robust, but was developed more or less exclusively by one dude, so its just strange. In fact, most of what you see in-game isn't even in the main code, but is made in IncursionScript, which Julian made specifically for the game.

And to expand on what >>140691250 said, Incursion was made basically for solo DnD play. It's based on the d20 ruleset, is extensively written in regards to how things work, and gives the player pretty huge amounts of customization without fucking up the base, like some shitty zombie-related games.

If you're interested, you should read the white paper Julian wrote about the game, where he explains how and why he wrote it.

I do agree, though, it would be easier to write another game from scratch than to update Incursion. Julian and Toady both rode the high of Strange Moods into some crazy shit, and it would be hard fuck with their work so late in the game.
>>

Sounds like someone should just blatantly copy everything in a better environment and more debugging since it's open source when they're making a totally new roguelike and then build on that.

Yep. If you check the source, src/ just contains all the architecture, which puts the pieces together. Most of the actual building blocks are defined in the lib/ folder. Here is subraces.irh, specifically where he defines the Grey Elf subrace.

It's actually within reason to re-flavor Incursion as any other genre, since everything is defined the way it is.

I've been wanting to make another d20 roguelike for a long-ass time, but I'm not sure whether there would be interest since nobody plays Incursion.

Kicking doors eventually (like after the third kick usually) destroys them. The best way to train dex is to play a harp or a flute for 600 turns, since you can hurt yourself when kicking a door or a sink.

Right, well I always break them with the first or second kick, so it doesn't seem that I'll be getting more dex that way.

Also, my pet just got teleported, if I can't find it should I just leave it?
>>
>>140697807
>Doesn't abusing this lead to straining the stat instead?
nope. Kicking a sink and getting "the pipes vibrate noisily" trains dex. There's a 2/3 chance for that to happen.
Hurting yourself while kicking the sink (Ouch, that hurts!) with a chance of getting lame, abuses dex AND strength.
You're better off playing a harp, seriously.

>>140697860
>Also, my pet just got teleported, if I can't find it should I just leave it?

Also why is the shopkeeper making me pay for the corpses of the mimics I killed.

I don't know for sure, but make sure to leave a few rooms closed with doors, if you have a key they are a great place to rest.
It's probably not worth kicking every single door.

>>140702613
It hasn't bee so in DnD either. Depends on edition.
In character generation, yeah, 18 (+4) is the max, but you can go further with magical items and ability score gains ( every x level ).
In 5th edition the absolute stat cap is 25, with 20 being 'natural' max.
>>
>>140702780
Go dive Angband
>>
>>140702613
They do. In fact that best you can get naturally is 18/**, like in old AD&D. Putting on a "x of power" (usually guantlets, but dyna adds random magical proprieties) gives you 25 strength, which is the same as 18/** in everything, except it also makes you able of throwing mjollnir.

He isn't "selling" it, that's from the fundraising campaign which finished about 4 years ago. The point is that someone generous enough to give him 50k would receive the source code, not that he set up a stand on the market where he gives people the code for 50k

Right, so my adventures to become godzilla continues, and for this run I decided to challenge myself to not using any perks that you would deem helpful (aside from fast learner because reading is annoying), and I have to give creds to the idea that not having night vision and not having anything but a temporary torch can be quite spooky if you lack good armor/weaponry.

Also tried ASCII for quite a bit but I think DDA is one of the games I would never touch with ASCII, as it majorly looks bad in terms of color selection and both giving the player an understanding on what the fuck is what from a distance.

don't use artifact creation on PDSM.

the huge number of resists mean it has a really high "value" already, an turning it into an artifact will only add a few more bonuses.

artifact creation is best used on an item with like one really good property, so becoming an artifact will add a lot of extra stats and shit.

the technically optimal way to do shit would probably be letting acid monsters dissolve a falcon blade or diamond edge to -20 to lower its value, turning it into an artifact, then enchanting it back to +12,+12
>>
>>140725980
Cata's ks wasn't. It was worse.
>>
>>140724883
Levelling Armour does increase AC, it's used in calculation though base type is way more important
>>
>>140724883
armor skill does increase AC, and also reduces the penalties from the armor

20 strength doesn't completely remove penalties (which is impossible nowadays), it's just a good number to have IN ADDITION to high armor skill to reduce most of the penalties

if you currently have lowish armor skill, levelling armor will actually have a big positive effect on your EV and accuracy
>>

>>
>>140726457
>a falcon blade or diamond edge to -20 to lower its value, turning it into an artifact, then enchanting it back to +12,+12

Can an artifact still be improved with enchantment?
>>
>>140726457

I didn't quite know that. I'll keep it in mind on next game / when I find another artifact creation-scroll.
>>
>>140726638
> levelling armor will actually have a big positive effect on your EV
Yeah, well, armor is -3 and dodging is +3, will the armor really outweight the EV I get from dodging?
>>
>>140726728
Yes.
>>
>>140726728
Yup, although the town services only go to +12 for non-warriors and most artifacts are better than that.

But if you find something with low enchantment like Guantlets of Thanos or the Robe of the Kamikaze Warrior you can buff it up at the cost of loads of gold.

Scrolls can still go to +15 too but they get pretty huge failure rates and you'd need to find tons of them.

Unless you're a craft mage and you can just spam enchantment spells in town, or a psion who can go to +20 or +24 or something instead of just 15.

>>140727095
the game tells you the relative cost of leveling the skills

dodging will be cheaper if they're the same level but the cost increases pretty quickly as its level gets higher, so at some point armor will be cheaper
>>

In dynahack should i keep playing the tutorial new game when i splat or should i just make a character? also are there good bows in this? i want bows to be good, cause they seem cool, but some kind anon told me its hard to get arrows so i figured a good bow is necessary to make them any good.
>>
>>140727912
Nethack combat is really boring and samey. Practically the best option for almost everyone is dual-wielding, sword+shield, or spamming attack spells.
>>
>>140727912
if you Git Gud enough to reach + beat the quest level as a Ranger, you get an artifact longbow that can create arrows out of thin air.

before that point you gotta save your arrows for special situations though
>>
>>140727469
Rune swords only improve by killing shit IIRC.

>>140728139
I see. What would be a good weapon for a dex character like a ranger, just a long sword? and should i dual wield or weapon/shield?
>>
>>140726701
They raised the money, paid some developer at least part of it, and then surprise the developer disappeared.
>>
>>140728642
Rangers can actually use bows because of that quest reward, but until then you have to conserve arrows and use daggers(either thrown or in melee).

https://nethackwiki.com/wiki/Ranger#Strategy
Light spoilers in that section.
>>
>>140728642
>a dex character

it's not like DCSS where some weapons are dex and some are strength

Only strength affects damage, and it gives the same +dam to every weapon. Whether you're bashing monsters with a two-handed sword or throwing a dagger, 25 strength adds the same damage (+6).

The game itself is great, the development is slow but steady, it has a distinct advantage over the free version by now, and the tiles are subjectively gorgeous.

Played frozen depth for a few minutes, got down to level six before I equipped a bow in order to try out archery and it was cursed. The game seems interesting, but none of the options seem to do much. The stances don't change things enough to bother, the monsters are all solved by pushing through them, etc... Maybe it gets harder later on? Because the only reason I died was because of abject pointless stupidity, and I never even came close to low health before then.

Alright, I give up. I can't fucking deal with one hour of rerolling convicts. God damn that was boring.
Foodless, polyless, polyselfless, weaponless, elberethless, boneless, wishless, genocideless, survivor, spell-less, Sokofaithful is my limit. I can't add any other conducts.
Pacifist is impossible because I need the chromatic scales and I'd need to kill to get them. Also have you ever tried pacifist? It's fucking annyoing.
Atheist would be nice but it's impossible in my state, since I start fainting at 300 turns and I've literally spent one hour rerolling convicts to get a chance of finding a ring of slow digestion on the floor. I mean holy shit wizards need to do that like three times.
Nudist is completely incompatible with this combo because I have no resists and again, I need the chromatic scales.
Illiterate too, because I'd still need to read a scroll of enchant armor to get the chromatic scale mail.
Don't let me get started about Zen.
I'm stuck at an imperfect 11 conduct rune. Which is technically 10+1 because dynahack counts if you cheated sokoban. I mean sure, it's a conduct, but not a very prestigious one. I could do Celibate, which is not consorting with foocubi, but the game doesn't even track it.

Not him, but damn that's stupid. Cars were already hard enough to find in working condition as of a few weeks ago when I first started playing. The car spawns always piss me off because there's almost always something majorly wrong with every car you find, and they tend to only have a minor amount of fuel left if any, on top of random parts having varying degrees of damage. Then to top all this shit off, if you're starting off with a character that has low driving skill(which chances are, is every character), you have to deal with the random control fumbling, so even if you do manage to find a vehicle in operable condition, you have to deal with uncontrollable random swerves until you level up enough for it to stop.

>now you're required to have minerals in your body every day or you suffer consequences
What kind of bullshit is this? How do you get them, and what kind of consequences are there for not being able to get them?

It's mostly made useless by how late you get it.

At level 7, a priest should be able to reliably heal, cure disease, and have a high will throw anyway, so the main features are gone.
Only remaining use is buffing allies with the same thing, but this was a priest of Mara, the death god, so my undead minions get no benefit.

Plus, Incursion has a system where mana spent on buffs don't regain until you rest, so that's 40 mana that gets spent on a half-ass team buff. Granted, at CL 7 that's not much, but it adds up.

What are you talking about? Golgotha is piss-easy as a melee character! Just run to the bottom dodging everything, then j-j-jam it in.

Not very, unless you want to prepare a farm for herbs and actually farm herbs.

It may have been nerfed hard in some more more recent versions, but "back then" it allowed you to gain tons of ghetto heal pots, low weight permafood, 25 in dexterity, willpower and toughness and high quality altar fodder.

Remember, stay the fuck away from eels, and if you see any suspicious messages eat honey and/or yuckwheat immediately.

You can buy both from traders rarely, and also find it lying around occasionally. You'll only ever need one of them, since glotrot is only from golgotha and there's no reason to ever go back there.

I would also recommend night-vision so you can ditch torches.

I used to play esper a ton and I think the explosives piercing your force shield thing was only a problem if you used the bubble instead of the wall. I'm pretty sure the grenades never actually go through the wall although the explosion does. Force wall is great because at high levels of ego/willpower the cooldown is so low that you can lay down multiple walls at a time, and it's cheaper than the bubble. It also lets you block off your escape path from pursuers so that you can gain some distance, whereas the bubble doesn't really allow that

Not in the same line of discussion, but faulty engines flat out don't work until repaired/replaced, right?

>>140794953

Some of them don't work, but many will just lack some function. At the moment the only way to check what does the fault do is removing the engine, looking at it and picking "mend". It will list what is there to fix and what are the results.

Faulty engine can

>>140796014
Test if it works. If it does, then test if the alternator works (battery power goes up instead of down when the engine is running). If it works, then you got one of the harmless or nearly harmless faults.

To fix:

I don't remember the last time I was so disappointed.
I downloaded it expecting something like Incursion, because I had played that and enjoyed it found the levels annoyingly large to navigate sans autoexplore.

Instead, I got incomplete classes, incomplete gods (simplified to the point that their only interactions are to give you free stuff as you explore, and a prayer button to heal you to full when needed), incomplete UI's (the magic screen had ~5 levels of magic I could use before the end, but only two tabs: 1st level spells, and 2nd level spells), bug reports every time I tried to do something with crafting, and eventually a bug that blinded my character permanently (4 ingame hours passed before I gave up on it), spat out ever more bug reports, and apparently corrupted the savefile or something, given that I couldn't even find it to load, much less attempt to load it.

Are there any other roguelikes similar to Incursion, in that playing a Wizard in them is really fun?

The tiles version's tiles are meh, but the real problem with it is the unresizable viewport because of "necklace of the eye", which is a half assed graphic UI that doesn't let you customize the font the way you like it.
Also good god. The inventory. Is awful.
I don't know how people can stand it.

It's more or less a personal preference thing, but if you use the tiles version and then switch to the regular one, my opinion is that you'll come to prefer the regular one.

I don't suggest downloading the "free" version, because Biskup, the lovable bastard, added a splash screen that you cannot skip in that version, that tells you about the differences between the free and paid version.

You literally *have to* see it before playing the game, every time, because you *have to* press a different key every time, at random, to skip it.

That's how bad it is.

Is ADOM literally impossible to do with a pure melee character? I mean elemental bosses and a bunch of other monsters just destroy anyone in melee and particularly ACW hits like a fucking freight train. It's unbearable and I get shredded.
>>
>>140808507

you play melee only as a challenge? because if not it's easier to pick a bow, to milk barbarians for arrows (are they still milkable? i guess) and to train bow for a bit (a scummy way to quickly get like 8 skill in bows it's to shoot hydras in swamps at coward, you should have a decent speed for it or you are toast)... you will find some demon/dragon slaying arrows as well as some generic slaying arrows and those will quickly end acw

even easier if you are of the raven starsign and already got the trident from blurp's mom, i think nothing changed there and you can use it as a demon slaying returning spear, acw dies in few hits

certainly adom is possible to win (unless they did some change which i doubt) even by spitting at everything with drakeling acid, it was done before, you can win it as melee only, you can play melee only but it will be harder... i dunno, if you don't have a melee demon/dragon slaying weapon you need some good ordinary weapon like the guaranteed big punch preferably with your character having the perks for heavy weapons or possibly the axe of the minotaur emperor or something

But the question is, can a time paradox happen in real life?
>>
>>140817356
The most logically consistent theory I've heard is that by going back and changing shit you are creating a divergent timeline which will have all these changes. You didn't change it in your origin timeline, so the lack of an event which would force you to stop said event from happening is only in this time.

It seperates the cause and effect nicely and doesn't cause your brain to implode trying to make sense of it, but it does assume a lot about the nature of spacetime and the existence of parallel universes.

Well, it is bit troublesome to test.

>sudden urge to make a limb based roguelike where you can actually aim for the limbs intensifies
I don't really have anything better to do so I'm nearly nuts enough to go for it.
>>
>>140817920
I always feel like limb based combat isn't nearly as exciting as we make it out to be. You never really want to commit to nonlethal combat in a roguelike, so you'll always go for the center of body mass to kill as fast as possible.
>>
>>140817920
UNREAL WORLD
>>
>>140817920

>>
>>140817838

I mean, physics is really just an extrapolation of the behavior of reality *as we know it.* We can't necessarily expect known physics to work outside of any frame that humans have ever experienced. It could very well be possible for "things" to travel back in time, but that it is impossible for us, specifically, to do so.
>>
>>140818058
That's not true. Just look at dorf fortress. Chopping off a limb is really effective because of the pain system and the way the target needs to bleed out to die if you go for center mass anyway.
>>
>>140818346
Dwarf fort always felt like you're swing at whatever has the highest chance to come off, unless you have a good shot at their head. I really dig it and how visceral the combat can be, but it isn't super deep or anything. The wrestling is always cool though. That reminds me, I have to go back and play now that he revamped combat somewhat.
>>
>>140818542
That's just because of the called shot accuracy randomness, not because chopping off a foot or a hand is a bad idea.
>>
>>140818058
I think it's not as exciting because most roguelikes flat out make it garbage and just vanity.

Like for example, both lifeweb and dwarf fortress make some crazy scenarios where for example a mummy is powerful enough to strangle you in a lock which you can't struggle out of, in which case the most effective scenario of defence/offence is to chop its hands off and kick it into a pit/away from you.
Grabbing and disarming weapons from people, wrenching heads around and slamming people into walls/floors or just flat out kicking in teeth, there's so many opportunities to find once you start throwing in monsters that arent just "humanoid but with extra features".

Not only that, but this could be used for special interactions with certain mobs, such as if lacking silver/stakes for vampires you could kick in their teeth to avoid letting them lifeleech off of you, or tackling/pushing things like *evil *zombie giraffes down to decapitate them.
Imaginations!
>>
>>140818058

I think the limb-combat system in Cataclysm DDA is pretty good. Not revolutionary or whatever, but adds some degree of depth to the whole thing.

Unless you mean "targeting body parts." The only game that actually did this well, in my opinion, was Monster Hunter.
>>
>>140819007
>hand gets broken

>>
>>140818058
Meming aside, UnrealWorld actually does have interesting 'limb-based' combat - disarming is a favoured tactic, especially against heavily armoured opponents wearing chain or laminar armour. Aiming for legs is fantastic - it comes into focus if you're an archer, whether you're hunting game or humans since it allows you to perfectly line up your shots. You can also make use of limb targeting by bypassing an opponents armour - if they're wearing chainmail you go for the arms, and so forth. This is really augmented further by the excellent armour coverage system the UnRealWorld has - it's actually really fun, the only shame is that it's so incredibly lethal that it's far better not to engage in it at all. Add on the slow-healing injury system where you have to clean and dress your wounds for potentially weeks, the very real possibility of dying from blood loss and your skills/combat abilities degrading from injuries, well - you've got yourself a hell of a system, honestly.
>>
>>140819485
I should add that it's very possible to cripple limbs, and it's incredibly significant to do so - it reduces combat skill by a huge amount, and confers part-specific benefits. Some cripples are usually just instant kills, thorax, neck and skull being the most prevalent.

Crippling shins or feet will cause a limp - slower walking, and no running. Crippling a thigh will, well, cripple them - no walking at all, only crawling. Enemies fighting from a prone position are still surprisingly dangerous though, especially if they have a bow - they can still fire, and are harder to hit, themselves!

Crippling hands causes disarms, crippling forearms or arms usually disarms and prevents arm usage until it's healed - no more spears or bows! Gosh, I'm sure I'm forgetting something, too.
>>
Everybody knows toribash has the best limb based combat while also being the best roguelike.

You know, I used to think the Vampire-only thing was because they were a challenge to play. But the more I watch you, the more I realize they're just high-performance and fiddly, rather than slow and reliable.

Case in point: I alt-tab away while you're on floor 1, and when I come back less than 4 minutes later you're almost level 5, have killed a dwarf in full armor, and just under 1200 turns have passed since the start of the game. I think it's less that Vampire is the only proper option for all these conducts, and more that it's the only one that can pull them off.

how can I make 2H Paladin work on DCSS ? Which holy God would work best ?

I've tried starting as Formicid Skald and that's working out but I haven't been able to get to floor 5 even with it. I also don't know how2skills, I go into manual mode and train only long swords and dodging for a little then swap to charms and spellcasting for a little.

Any tips?

Yeah, they've got quite a few forgeable melee weapons along those lines, plus Cataclysm has the potential to mod in anything that it doesn't already have. I mean, they have a fucking dinosaur modpack pre-included if you want to fight fucking dinosaurs. They even have a medieval weapons pack.

Somewhat related, just yesterday I started a new character who began at a "LMOE shelter" (I may have the letters incorrect). It didn't have a whole lot of stuff in the shelter to work with so I was forced to leave. Walked to a nearby mansion, and in the entrance hall there was a bunch of ceremonial plate armor+great helm, most with awl pikes but one had a broadsword and scabbard, and then elsewhere in the mansion I found a rapier and a fencing book. So now I'm running around in plate armor with a pike on a fresh character and kicking all the zombie ass.

Yeah, this is one of the problems with conducts. If you play variants, all the extra stuff makes conducts a lot easier than in vanilla -- except that with vanilla you can in theory scum a billion puddings for all the items (for non-pacifists, anyway). So I guess my point is that if you aren't an autist, you should try high conduct vanilla runs if you want more challenge.

Formicid works alright but takes a lot of work, especially if you're new. Try a minotaur fighter. Get your weapon delay to 1 before training other stuff. Worshiping TSO early generally isn't advised, but its for fun so whatever.

Good V:5 strat in current versions isn't too different than good V:5 play was in versions before stairlocking wardens and open quadrants.

In short:

1) Stairdance what you can of the welcoming pack until a warden shows up. Only fight on the upfloor to minimize downfloor stairnoise.
2) Fastmove through one of the hallways to the outer ring. It doesn't matter too much how you do this. Haste, ?fear, !invis, cblink, semitargeted blink with ?fog, ?summon and run while what's there fights your allies, you can pretty much do whatever as long as it ends with you at one of the midpoints along the outer ring. Again, though, actions that cause less noise near the center of the V:5 floor are more optimal.
3) Buff yourself and fight along the outer edge of the map. Split the following packs by kiting along the outer edge, making sure to keep moving along the outer edge if things get noisy. !agility, !might, !haste, !resistance, !invis, and regen all help to make this part easier, depending on what you have available.
4) Congratulations, all that's left is the partially empty quadrants. Move in and collect your loot/rune without having an own fault moment.

Make a Hill Orc of Zin, skill up invo, go to mines first, and read the holy books at your enemies until they go blind or turn into pillars of salt.

>>
>>140837386
Also, the Abyssal rune isn't safer at all -- it's just attainable in fewer turns.

Properly executed, V:5 is very controlled. You get none of that control in Abyss. Good play in Abyss involves turning blind corners very often to break LOS as preventative play to cause trailing monsters to break off -- every time you turn one of those blind corners you run the risk of turning into something dangerous.

Good play in V:5 involves a much more predetermined threat. On V:5 you know exactly when you need to buff, you know exactly where is the most appropriate area to fight, and most importantly you're not wandering a randomly generated floor while hoping that a series of bad rolls in levelgen or monstergen don't happen.

What all does the reset world option do on C:DDA? It says it deletes all saves and regenerates the world, bit what does that mean exactly? I'm assuming it gets rid of all traces of player involvement within the world, but does it replace all items exactly as they were on creation, or does it re-roll all items but leave the world as it was? Say for instance if I played a character and came across a town that had an amazing selection of guns and ammo in the basement of a house, reset the world and start a new character who happens to spawn in that town, if I go back into the basement of that house would the items still be exactly the same as they were on the first character, or will it be different?

All the items in my pack are neatly organized on the side of the room, a gold piece on each hand and on my quiver. To prevent intrusions, the doors are magically locked. Like this, I have a fair shot at my scrolls of item destruction destroying the cursed antimagical elven chain mail I got stuck with, and if not I'll lose only a piece of gold per try. This way I don't waste my scroll of uncursing.

Yes-ish. There are a few ways. First, with rLight++ you take no damage from normal daylight. Second, you can use a Staff of Darkness or Scrolls of Darkness. Third, you can have some form of healing available, go to the overmap, take one step, zoom in, heal, go out, step, etc, which is the fastest, if cheesiest, way to do it,

I don't play Cata, but if it is generated like most sensible games are, then resetting will make it regenerate based on the same seed, so everything should be exactly the same.

The likelihood of you spawning in that same town, however, is incredibly small, depending on how large Cata's generated worlds are.

Gothmog dead, bit tricky with his entourage of starspawn, but dead nonetheless.

Starting to feel bit confident. There are still few uniques that I should absolutely kill before going to the Serpent. Remaining pool is too small, so might as cut out the actually god-awful ones.

Azathoth, Nodens, Kaschei, Cantoras, a Plain Gold Ring, Morgoth, The Unicorn of Order, The Destroyer, Talos, Masterwork Spellwarp Automaton, Gothmog, Cthulhu, and Yog-sothoth are the worst uniques (outside of Olympians) IMO.

Of these, Azathoth, Kaschei, Cthulhu, and Gothmog can spawn with bands of monsters and Nodens, Cantoras, and a Plain Gold Ring will choke you in summons who can also summon.
>>
>>140872235
Yes.
>>
>>140871698
nice one. Gothy has one of the more dangerous packs, so he's definitely one of the big ones to have dead pre-Serpent when possible.

He tunnels through rock, so he can often be separated from his posse by luring him into tunneling, but obviously you don't need that advice on this character any more.

The Destroyer is pretty annoying when summoned but sometimes very hard to pick off. He doesn't come with a pack, he's just really irritating.

Azathoth comes with a pack of Es I think. Qlzzpupbladlfkjae;fljkaseflk;j the Lord of Flesh is a nasty summoner. Omeroj, the Cyberdemon Lord has a pack too.

If you have a source of imm elec, it can be worth it (though still dangerous!) to try and kill Zeus.

There's no reason to, unless you are trying to get his amulet (which, granted, is pretty good). None of the Olympians can spawn outside of Olympus and no one besides themselves can summon them.

No always interesting rooms.
Cantoras is already dead, as is Yog-Sothoth ( his disintegration breath was really frightening )
Researching bunch of those make me spooked. Particularly Unicorn of Order, The Destroyer ( he can be teleported away, though - I wonder if Annihilation works as well, or do all uniques resist it? ), Talos... Particularly because they have so durable.
And eldritch horrors have bad tendency to cause confusion/amnesia.

I use passwall a lot, so tunnelers must go, though.

well, nothing can summon Oberon or the Serpent. Also, any unique that is chosen as a random Angband quest monster when the game generates cannot be summoned. Sometimes, if you're hunting for a particular unique (most commonly Stormbringer) and can't find it, you need to push down in Angband a bit to find it.

Oh yeah and DO NOT let the Master Tonberry get next to you.
